Family-Centered Fridays: Connecting courts, veterans services in Oklahoma
Oklahoma has traditionally had a significant number of veterans and active-duty military personnel relative to its overall population. Some of these individuals are involved in criminal justice or civil court systems and also face mental health and substance abuse issues often attributed to their service and sacrifice.
This Family-Centered Fridays webinar focuses on the Zone4Vets (Z4V) initiative and the services it provides to veterans through the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Programs receiving the Zone4Vets distinction have established enhanced collaborations with veterans service organizations and the criminal justice and civil court systems, and provide veterans with the tools needed to lead productive and law-abiding lives.
Moderator:
- Lisa Williams, senior court management consultant, NCSC
Presenter:
- Tammy Westcott, director of diversion programs, Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services
